zamane ko zer-o-zabar kar diya
ye kya tu ne ai chashm-e-tar kar diya

laga rakhna qatil ke shayan nahin
idhar kar diya ya udhar kar diya

kiya aur bhi mere qasid ne shokh
jo us ko mera nama-bar kar diya

saba ne lagai kahan ki kahan
idhar aah ki wan khabar kar diya

khalish nok-e-mizhgan ki kuchh kam na thi
badha kar use neshtar kar diya

meri sham-e-ummid gul ho gai
sitam tu ne baad-e-sahar kar diya

thapak kar sulaya mujhe bar-bar
main tha ba-khabar be-khabar kar diya

wafaen hamari akarat gain
raqibon ko jam us ne bhar kar diya

jo muddat se thi ji mein ab than gai
dil-e-pur-khatar be-khatar kar diya

jidhar tera tir-e-nazar chal gaya
idhar main ne nazr ek jigar kar diya

nazar mujh se qatil chura jaega
agar main ne sina-sipar kar diya

tumhaari khamoshi ne us ko 'fahim'
sitamgar se fitna-gar kar diya
